Q. Can the Associated students issue my organization a tax I.D. number?
A. No. Tax I.D. numbers are issued for business purposes. Although
the Associated Students may contribute funds to your organization,
your organization's "business" is separate from that of
the Associated Students, therefore we cannot issue you a tax I.D.
number. However, a student organization may apply for an Employer
ID Number for their own use. This application can be picked up in
the A.S. Business office or you can call 559-452-4010. |
